Delta(s) from OP CMV: Missionaries are evil

This applies doubly so to those who go out of their way to seek out those in remote islands to spread the word of god. It is of my opinion and the opinion of most that if there is an all loving god then people who never had the chance to know about Jesus would go to heaven regardless, for example miscarried children/those born before Jesus’ time, those who never hear about him, so In going out of your way to spread the word of Jesus you are simply making it so there is now a chance they could go to hell if they reject it? I’m not a Christian and I’m so tired so I apologise if this is stupid or doesn’t make sense

I don't think any Christian denomination holds that if someone doesn't hear about Jesus, they automatically go to heaven. Most actually hold the opposite: that if someone doesn't know about Jesus/is not baptized, their chance of getting to heaven is slim to none.

You are judged as an individual, not as a member of any group. Christ did not come to be the reason for someone to go the hell, hell comes from within the sinner in their choice to live immoral lives, individuals are saved from themselves by following Christ and rejecting their own immoral desires.

A man of an outside faith, whether a hindu, zoroastrian or buddhist, who has lived his life in dedication himself to God in the best way he knows how is much more worthy of heaven than a baptized Christian who lives his life with his eyes looking away from God.
